CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi basketball doubleheader at Sam Houston State has been moved a day earlier to Friday, Jan. 4, at 1 p.m., the Islanders Department of Athletics announced today. The change was made to accommodate the Bearkats, who play in the Division I Football Championship Game on Saturday, Jan. 5.

"We were more than happy to make this change," Director of Athletics Scott Lazenby said. "We're excited to see Sam Houston State represent the Southland Conference with class as they try to bring home a national title for our league."

The women's team will start the doubleheader at 1 p.m. with the men scheduled to follow at approximately 3:30 p.m. in Huntsville. It will be the conference opener for the women's team and the second game for the men's team, which opens league play on Saturday, Dec. 29, against Stephen F. Austin.
